Whatever the method, I highly doubt our hero's soul will be taken by a daedra. They seem to be steering us to divinity. Maybe mantling Talos somehow through a Enantiomorphic Event? There's quite a few in the game. Alduin, Paarthurnax, you. Ulfric, Tulius, you. And that ghost mistaking you for Hjalti seems like a BIG hint to me.

I'm willing to bet none of them will. There'll be some kind of loophole. Maybe we absorb so many souls that we rose to divinity suddenly, and was never seen again, or we rose to divinity when we died due to all the dragon souls. Something like that. But I highly doubt they'll close off the last dragonborn's life with being stuck in a daedra's realm, since they don't like giving specifics to our heros so everyone's headcanon will be satisfied. Same for HM. Some people choose to defy HM in dialogue, so being his servant in lore would upset some people, especially when it seems you have a choice to stay from that path at the end of the dlc.

Ha! Sithis gets his soul and then just utterly destroys it, cause of chaos n'stuff.

Ah, but there is Nocturnal and servitude to her upon death in the Evergloam!

Good point regarding Lucien.

Dang it...Sithis does top them all doesn't he?

The way I see it is that the dovahkiin can't be claimed by the daedric princes (unless he is in their realm and dies) because he defeated Alduin and he states that the daedra fear him also from reading this http://www.imperial-library.info/content/fight-one-eating-birth-dagon it says that Alduin created Dagon, so im sure that he would be able to claim him if he's on nirn.

Wow, that was an interesting and eye-opening read. Alduin truly is stronger than the daedra, but it was a little strange seeing the words crap and the f word in tes lore. It's in the imperial library, so I can assume this is legit, right?

This is coming off a discussion we had regarding Miraak's servitude to Hermaeus Mora, as well as the Dovahkiin and his ties to Nocturnal (assuming the Thieves Guild questline was completed). Considering the available choices and known instances of actual forces servitude or willing loyalties to the different Daedric Princes, which daedric prince will truly lay claim to the Dragonborn's soul and to which realm is he destined upon death?


What I wanted to discuss first was the Dovahkiin taking Miraak's mantle as Hermaeus Mora's new servant. Now I know many have called this into question, but lets face it, HM is a daedric prince of "scrying of the tides of Fate, of the past and future as read in the stars and heavens" and therefore knows the choices the DB would make. Plus, he seems to work situations to ensnare unwitting servants (as evidenced in his Daedric Quest and in the DB DLC).

On top of this, my character is currently a Nord Werewolf Nightingale, which already poses a conflict between Hircine and his Hunting Grounds and servitude to Nocturnal and service in the Evergloam. My theory on this though, is that the werewolf gift/curse is not that difficult of a fix before death. However, if the Dovahkiin dies a werewolf nightingale, this raises some interesting questions of where the soul of the Dovahkiin will go. Ha, and Sovengarde, I guess that is a pipe dream?

Regarding Mehrunes Dagon, receiving the Razor required no forced servitude that I remember.

Anyway, please discuss!

One thing I do not understand is why posters keep saying that being a champion to a DL == their soul goes to them. Where in the game does it say that (even in Oblivion/Morrowind)? To me that will only happen IF one made a contract (Nocturnal), allowing a power be imbued to one's soul (vampire/werewolf), or a worshiper. Otherwise, you are doing a task for their amusemant and then rewarded with their artifact, nothing more. Also Sithis is the "anti-matter", not a being. I think the DB are just being blind-sighted by Mephala.
